Just wanted to share my Tricorder build. This is going to be a Mark X build, from late Next Generation, Voyager, and DS9.
The body is from Stapelton Productions (Stapleton Productions), and the electronics are from gmprops (by PropEFX).
Both are incredibly well made and I recommend picking up any of their products, you won't be disappointed.
I am also using this tutorial as well as my own main guidance on the build. Mk IX Tricorder - YouTube
First thing I did was sand all the body parts with a fine sanding sponge, just to smooth things out. Then I added the lights and board to the lower panel with hot glue. Then after some trial and error I got the upper LED array into the main body. Then some bondo and sanding to get the two parts of the main body attached. I am also regularly testing the boards to make sure that I am not breaking a solder.
